Charming, beautiful cabin.

Great place!

The property was very pleasant and clean, with beautiful outdoor space. We loved the location - removed from the hustle and bustle of the town but close enough to get there and to surrounding activities easily. Management was very responsive to any issues or questions. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay! The cabin had everything we needed; it was close to activities and dining. We had a little trouble finding the location because we did not have the Waze App and the Pin from the VRBO website brought us somewhere else.

This little house was all we were expecting. The home was clean and well stocked. The management was very quick with communication. The neighborhood was quiet. The back yard offers a nice view of Arenal volcano.

LaFortuna Cabin

It was a great place to experience LaFortuna. It was close enough to enjoy the restaurants and shops downtown without having to deal with traffic and noise. There were plenty of nearby soda's that were also delicious. It was only a short drive to the Waterfall and the hot springs.

Wonderful accommodations

This place was great. The AC worked well, and it had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and we all got a good night's sleep.The only complaint I heard is there isn't enough seating in the living area for watching movies. The backyard was big and lots of birds spent time there. We did not see any other animals, but we were only there 3 nights.I would stay there again if I'm ever in the area.

Great experience!

The property was very clean! Anything questions we had were answered very quickly through WhatsApp. It was nice to know the owners are very attentive to your needs! It has everything we needed! It is about 10 minutes from town, but once you get used to the drive it gets easier. The road felt safe and no animals or critters came into the house (we were worried that might happen). Highly recommend this cute little place!

Just lovely. Host was helpful - providing lots of ideas for things to do, places to eat. House was a perfect size and in the perfect location. We made breakfast a few mornings - the kitchen was all stocked and easy to use. Everything is so close and easy to access from this home. La Fortuna is magical - we will be back.

We enjoyed our stay, the house was clean and had everything that we needed. It was not a location that you could walk to many places from so we would highly recommend that you have a car if you are going to rent this house.

Family trip in La Fortuna

We had a great stay—property was exactly as shown. An easy 10-15 min drive into town but felt much farther than that in a good way. Great A/C which was critical for us given the heat and humidity.host was very responsive and had great meal suggestions—our favorite was Harmony Restaurant which was very small and family owned…tried to go multiple times but happened to be in town two nights they were closed.

Clean, quiet cabin

This cabin has all the appliances needed. The backyard is full of life; the enourmous toad made me jump, before admiring it! A car is essential to get around. The cabin is not within walking distance from town or activities. It’s a 10 minute drive to anything, which guaranteed our desired quietude. One point of improvement: more comfortable seating for four. The couch really accommodates two.

Kitchen was well stocked with new, top brand appliances and utensils. Great views of abundant trees and flowers from the kitchen and living room large windows. The backyard had multiple fruit trees including habanero and avocado trees. Yard was immaculately maintained. Separate building with washer and dryer was convenient.

Volcano view with birds

The cabin was so cozy. It is a easy drive to get to town for groceries or a meal out but also far enough out to be immersed in nature. We had everything we needed and more. I definitely hope to stay here again the next time I am in the area. Pura Vida!

Short but sweet

My family and I stayed in the beautiful butterfly home for 2 nights. It was perfect for what needed. It’s very cute and clean. The only downside was that it poured nearly our whole stay, but that was no fault of the owners, we were in a rainforest after all!

Highlight of our stay

While all the canyoning, zip lining and hikes were amazing, nothing came close to our time at butterfly house. Without exaggeration we saw more than 30 species of birds in the backyard. Woke each morning to views of the volcano and birds singing. Cooked the freshest ingredients in the kitchen and really enjoyed the authentic neighborhood feel and friendly locals. We without hesitation would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice private house just minutes from town. Mathew & Aimee

We absolutely loved our stay. It was a great place to relax, sitting on the porch reading or listening and seeing so many different kinds of birds. After touring during the day it was great to get away from the busyness of the town. The kitchen was well equipped to do some cooking as well.

Perfect place to stay in La Fortuna!

This place was so amazing. It had all of the comforts of home, was nice and quite in a great neighborhood. It was close enough to participate in all of the tourist attractions and far enough away to give us the experience of living in the area. It was a great addition to our "Moving to costa Rica Exploration ".
